Episode 26- Fertility, Motherhood & Wellness with April Guilliams
In this episode, we sit down with certified health coach, mom, and genetic wellness guide April Guilliams to explore all things fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. April shares her personal journey from genetic coaching to motherhood, and how that shift sparked a passion for helping other women navigate this sacred season with more confidence, nourishment, and clarity.
We talk about personalized wellness, nutrient-dense foods, supplement must-haves, and why stress (and even your blood type) can impact your fertility more than you think. Whether you’re trying to conceive, newly pregnant, or deep in postpartum, this episode is packed with tips to support your body and mind from the inside out.

Episode 25- Healing from Chronic Illness with Ava Young
In this powerful episode of Barefaced and Unbridled, we sit down with Ava Young, Platinum Certified Coach in Cellular Detox and Head of Consulting Content and Training for the Pompa Program, to hear the incredible story of how she went from being bed-bound as a teenager to thriving in the wellness world today.
Ava opens up about her journey through chronic illness, including Lyme disease, Hashimoto’s, mono, and vaccine injury, and how these layers of illness led her to discover the Pompa Program, which ultimately saved her life.
We talk about what’s missing in most healing protocols, how chronic inflammation impacts every system in the body, and how to know if you’re ready for true detox. Ava shares what it really means to support the body at a cellular level and how doing so can restore energy, brain function, and hope when nothing else seems to work.
You'll also hear about her favorite non-negotiables (like mushroom coffee + marshmallows), and how she balances deep healing with joy and routine.
Ava now helps people detox at a cellular level through a multi-phase process that addresses root cause inflammation, improves hormone function, supports mitochondrial repair, and helps the body heal itself the way it was designed to.

Episode 25- Healing Chronic Illness with Ava Young
In this powerful episode of Barefaced and Unbridled, we sit down with Ava Young, Platinum Certified Coach in Cellular Detox and Head of Consulting Content and Training for the Pompa Program, to hear the incredible story of how she went from being bed-bound as a teenager to thriving in the wellness world today.
Ava opens up about her personal health journey through Lyme disease, Hashimoto’s, mono, and vaccine injury, sharing how these compounding issues left her bedridden as a teen — and how finding the Pompa Program ultimately saved her life. We explore what it really takes to heal from deep-rooted inflammation, how to know when your body is ready for detox, and why cellular healing is the missing piece in so many chronic illness journeys.
She also shares her go-to rituals (mushroom coffee with marshmallows, yes please), how she supports detox without overdoing it, and what she wishes more women knew about true recovery.
